School is over, time to work

Road has split, must choose a fork

Through the years you've taught me well

You've picked me up when I fell

Mom and Dad, don't you see

My time is now to be free

Resist the allure of greed

Show respect has been your creed

Tell the truth, do not lie

Do not fear to soar high

Mom and Dad, don't you see

My time is now to be free

Work real hard and work smart

Give life all with your heart

Own mistakes and do not run

Remember to have some fun

Mom and Dad, don't you see

My time is now to be free

Everyone is your kin

Sometimes fail, sometimes win

Part of life is to share

Reach out and show you care

Mom and Dad, don't you see

My time is now to be free
